About this award

The U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing awarded a delivery order to Crane & Co., Inc. (Crane Currency division) on January 30, 2026, for the supply of distinctive currency paper scheduled for April 2026 deliveries. This firm fixed-price delivery order, valued at $4.58 million with an ultimate completion date of April 29, 2026, was issued without a set-aside designation, reflecting Crane Currency's status as the sole qualified supplier of specialized currency production materials to the federal government. The award supports the Bureau's critical mission to manufacture and maintain U.S. currency by providing the distinctive banknote paper essential for Federal Reserve note production.

This delivery order is issued under one of two significant indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts that Crane Currency holds with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the primary vehicle valued at $1.683 billion with a completion date of April 26, 2026. Crane & Co., Inc., headquartered in Dalton, Massachusetts, serves as the prime contractor with no subcontractors involved, leveraging its advanced technical capabilities in currency substrate development to provide distinctive and non-distinctive banknote papers, security threads, and specialized materials essential for counterfeit deterrence and next-generation currency design initiatives. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of the Treasury, regularly issues delivery orders against these IDIQ vehicles to support ongoing production at its Eastern and Western Currency Facilities.
